In 1923, the United States Army (there was no United States Air Force at that time) set a record for in-flight refueling of airplanes. Using two refueling planes, an Airco DH-4B biplane was able to remain in flight for 37 h. During the flight, the refueling planes were able to air-transfer a total of 687 gallons of fuel to the plane in 9 refueling transfers. Assume that the refueling nozzle had a diameter of 1.65 in and each refueling took 2.37 min to perform. Calculate the velocity of the fuel through the nozzle. Assume that the fuel filled the entire cross-sectional area of the nozzle.

How many cubic meters of helium are required to lift a light balloon with a 400-kg payload to a height of 8 000 m? Take Hc = 0.179 kg/m3. Assume the balloon maintains a constant volume and the density of air decreases with the altitude z according to the expression pair = 0e-z/8 000, where z is in meters and 0 = 1.20 kg/m3 is the density of air at sea level.
A garden hose with a diameter of 2.0 cm is used to fill a bucket, which has a volume of 0.10 cubic meters. It takes 1.2 minutes to fill. An adjustable nozzle is attached to the hose to decrease the diameter of the opening, which increases the speed of the water. The hose is held level to the ground at a height of 1.0 meters and the diameter is decreased until a flower bed 3.0 meters away is reached. (a) What is the volume flow rate of the through the nozzle when the diameter 2.0 cm? (b) What does is the speed of coming out of the hose? (c) What does the speed of the water coming out of the hose need to be to reach the flower bed 3.0 meters away? (d) What is be diameter of nozzle needed to reach be flower bed?
In 1923, the United States Army (there was no United States Air Force at that time) set a record for in-flight refueling of airplanes. Using two refueling planes, an Airco DH-4B biplane was able to remain in flight for 39 h. During the flight, the refueling planes were able to air-transfer a total of 687 gallons of fuel to the plane in 9 refueling transfers. Assume that the refueling nozzle had a diameter of 1.55 in and each refueling took 2.35 min to perform. Calculate the velocity of the fuel through the nozzle. Assume that the fuel filled the entire cross-sectional area of the nozzle.
The basic function of an automobile's carburetor is to atomize the gasoline and mix it with air to promote rapid combustion. Assume that 40 cm? of gasoline is atomized into N spherical droplets. Each droplet has a radius of 2.0 x 10-5 m. Find the total surface area of these N spherical droplets.
If the blood vessel due to plaque buildup narrows to 50% of its diameter, what must be the speed of bloodthrough the narrowed diameter, when 50 cm/s is the speed through healthy diameter?
The speed of water in a shower pipe having a radius of 1.70 cm is about 1.10 m/s. If it comes out of the shower head with a speed of 0.600 m/s and each small nozzle in the shower head has a radius of 0.830 mm, how many small nozzles are there in this showerhead?
A rain gauge consists of a funnel with a diameter D = 10 cm that collects rain and deposits liquid water of density ρ = 1 × 103 kg / m^3 inside a cylinder of diameter d = 1 cm. The column of collected liquid rises at the rate of one centimeter per minute. a) If the raindrops fall into the funnel with a velocity of 10 m / s, calculate the mass of water liquid in a cubic meter of the atmosphere. b) Assuming that the raindrops have a radius of 1 mm, determine the number of drops in a cubic meter of the atmosphere.

The flow rate of blood through a 2.25 ✕ 10−6 m radius capillary is 3.80 ✕ 10−9 cm3/s. (a) What is the speed of the blood flow (in cm/s)? (This small velocity allows time for diffusion of materials to and from the blood.) (b) Assuming all the blood in the body passes through capillaries, how many of them must there be to carry a total flow of 80.0 cm3/s? (The large number obtained is an overestimate, but it is still reasonable.)
blood flows through the aorta at an average speed of v=18 cm/s. The aorta is roughly cylindrical with a radius r=18.0 mm. The volume rate of blood flow through the aorta is 3.14r^2v. Calculate the volume rate of blood flow through the aorta in L.min.
In a water tank there are four taps, the first one adds water at 5 L/s the second at 6t L/s; the third drains water at a rate of t^2 L/ s, and the fourth is closed. Argue the truth or falsehood of the following statement: "The rate of change of volume with respect to time can be calculated as: dv/dt = (5-6t-t^2) L/ s."
